If most people changed the default they would add steps to make it harder to change. Saying something an option is just a fig leaf if the company is allowed to tip the scales.
That's why a regulator can be effective. You can have a regulation that A has to be as easy to do as B and enforce it. Think of browser choice in on PCs in Europe or (briefly) the rule that it should be as easy to unsubscribe in the US as it is to subscribe. People have different feelings about regulations, but I think in places where everyone converges on a single platform pregulation that is protective of the individual makes sense.
Most people did change the default. Google became the number #1 search because it was better. It didnt't start as the default. Same for Chrome. Chrome is still not the default on Windows but is still #1 because people choose it.
The point of the article is if you use the more modern private API, then it does sandbox the experience and pulls in user privacy preferences while still being an in app browser. There are just older APIs that respect your privacy less.
Except if Intel goes there’s no leading chip manufacturer left. You can’t just (easily) tax cut your way to having that concentrated knowledge and market position.
It's like you intentionally chose the ignore other government actions and focus on taxes just to fit your narrative. Read it again:
> It should enact preferential policies like grants, tax cuts, subsidies etc. for industries they want to promote.
And read the announcement again. Intel has not been given extra money. CHIPS Act money has been converted to stake. That means Intel wasn't going away, if that is your concern.
Government routinely provides grants or preferential treatments to certain sectors or industries. Like Tesla and the EV grant. That works fine. It doesn't mean government needs to acquire stake in Tesla and put their thumb on the market scale.
In case you miss it, let me repeat - industries needs to be supported. It is called CHIPS Act not Intel Act for a reason. Given the current POTUS propensity to hold aid/grant without a quid pro quo, we can guess what happened here. Intel doesn't gets the grant money unless they kiss the ring and polish POTUS' image.
“Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.”
I’d encourage you to “read again” the HN guidelines.
> Government shouldn't bail out anyone. Period. It should enact preferential policies like grants, tax cuts, subsidies etc. for industries they want to promote.
If Intel is at risk of going under, saving it is what’s understood to be “bailing out.” A grant that’s meant to save a major multi-billion dollar company isn’t quite what most people think of as a grant.
It’d also be great if you guys could do a fine tune to run on an 8x80G A/H100. These H200/B200 configs are harder to come by (and much more expensive).
Unsloth should work on any GPU setup all the way until the old Tesla T4s and the newer B200s :) We're working on a faster and better multi GPU version, but using accelerate / torchrun manually + Unsloth should work out of the box!
